>Liar, Liar Balls on Fire

On the basis that you can never have too much of a good thing, here’s a link to Fraser Nelson’s account of a telephone call he received today from Ed Balls:

‘He instructed me to “take that post down now”. I thought he was joking: has there been some change to the constitution where ministers now have power over the media? But he was deadly serious. “You should not call me a liar,” said Balls. I told him that if he doesn’t want to be called a liar, he shouldn’t tell lies.”

Brilliant work from Fraser. You’ll find more graphs and more detail at the link above, together with Fraser’s updates.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
